How many Forum members are going to York this year?

Always look forward to York! Ill' be looking for parts and restorable items for resale

at Greenberg and other shows. I have always loved walking through the halls and grounds.

It's a nice getaway, and Ill' continue to do so. Not bailing out of the TCA anytime soon. in

fact, planning to attend my first convention next year in Somerset, N.J. just blocks from

my home! How convenient is that!

I'm planning to go on Friday and come back Saturday with my grandson. Right now I'm doing a bathroom renovation and hopefully I'll be far enough along that I won't need to use that Friday for the work.

 

Jerry

I will be there on Friday along with Jersey John, Kevin B (no relation), and ON30 Doug. All are members of the Black Diamond Society of Model Engineers in Bethlehem Pa.

 

JohnB

 

 

I'll bethere Thursday and Friday for the grandstand gathering.

 

Brad

I've been a member of the TCA since 1972 ... and I plan to be a member until at least 2072.  

 

Still an interesting, valuable organization, IMO.

Well we decided to bite the bullet. Airfare went down to $370 a person....but oh no, we had to waffle around and figure out what to do. Ended up paying $504 a person today .... not happy about that but oh well. Ya only live once, and I've never seen a hearse pulling a trailer cuz ya can't take it with ya! See ya all next month!

I will be there.

 

 

Yes, indeed!

 

My wife and I are going to attend.

Due to my work schedule we will most likely drive down to York on Friday morning and head back home Friday evening.

 

Still one day at York looking around at all the great model train items will be great !!!

TCA # 14-69917

I will be there Wednesday morning to check out the bandit meets and attend either the LCCA or DCS event that night.  Besides the TCA meet, I plan to attend Thursday's forum get together and the Legacy breakfast, and head home Friday night.

Not going.  I have been there twice a year, but now I just have too much stuff and there is no more room on my layout for more.  I do believe that I will attend the Greenberg show when it comes to my area, not for any stuff, but for the seminars and/or train displays.  I have never attended that show but was informed that there are more educational and informative things there.  At this phase, I am more interested in the "how-to's" rather than "how much" aspects of this hobby.

This will be my first trip to York!

No mater how great you think it is, multiply that by at least 2.

And I'll repeat my previous advice, wear comfortable shoes!

 

BEST advice of any that I've read....  

Idea: Maybe OGR should pass out "I'm on OGR Forum" stickers for folks to wear. It would be great advertising and a neat way to stir up conversations. I am a great fan of forum and have learned a lot from the sharing on all subjects. I am the tech for our local module group and over many years have experienced just about every glitch you can imagine with both DCs and Lionel systems. Forum is my go to place for the latest helpful hints with both systems. Its great to be a part of this great group.

 

Conductor Earl     

Good idea Earl. Only problem, Some forum members don't want to be known like BURFLE. Too bad.

You need to update your avatar with the new pup!  I'd love to see him or her!

The folks from OGR have given out things in the past.
I think there was a badge holder and a button.

Usually, from 10:30 on, many of us informally congregate outside the Orange Hall...and inside the hall most of the time on the north side of the concession booth. 

I would be up for an informal Meet-N-Greet before the opening....

 

Peter

I would be up for this also...This will be my first York and I would like to meet some of the forum members.

 

Jeff Davis

If I get my demo stuff running at the Henning's Trains booth early enough, I'll be coming out to check out the Meet-n-Greet as well.

First timers be sure to attend the "Thursdays at Tuesday's" gathering!

 

--Greg

That gathering is a "must attend" for me, it's a great time to meet and greet a lot of the forum regulars.

 

Old timers should NOT be looking for Friday's, it's gone.

WE will look forward to seeing you there at the above time.

I'll be busy in the Silver Hall trying to get my tables set up in time.  It is always a bit of a rush so I will miss the gathering.

Al.....please post your exact location in Silver when you get it......I will be sure to come by and say hello.

I am always at Silver E-30 and several others.

This will be my 10th York and my wife's 7th.  I brought her right after she retired from teaching, she hasn't missed one since.  She loves the atmosphere.  We go visiting the countryside on Tuesday and Wednesday; then stay at the meet till Saturday.  She attended two Thursdays at Fridays.  We hope to attend the new watering hole this Oct.

She talKed me into picking up an MTH Tinplate Firehouse and Pumper.  We are looking forward to visiting with our train friends and the pumpkin funnel cake house. ;-)

I never heard it put in those terms, but that really is a major feeling when there. Most likely the result of being with 10,000-plus like-minded people.

Myself and Linda's train will be right behind Marty & Dotty leaving on Tuesday from South Station. 

Looking forward to seeing the two of you, Chris.

Same here my friend. We haven't been able to attend the last couple of train events. We look forward to seeing everyone! 

I'll be there for the first time!!!

Thurs / Sat---can't wait

Starting to feel like train season  

….. WABBIT Season!!

I have been fortunate to have made over 70 trips to York and still look forward to the new experiences along with lots of memories. I plan on making the trip this time and plan to be in the RED HALL near the exit towards SILVER HALL/BLUE HALL. I will have 21" K Line Superliner cars(7) and engine and 227 semi-scale and many other FUN TOYS. Look forward to it.  Bob

Robert, what is your table #?

Eddie, I plan to be with Don Hager. I do not know the number but it is near the door that you would go out towards the Blue or Silver Halls. On the left side near the end where the announcement table is except way to the left near the first aisle. Don has been there many years and has 700'E -t rail and parts,etc for pre-war Lionel. Hope to see you there. My picture is shown.
